So we wake up after flying all night, and check out our buddy Neil Best's blog, and we see he takes a shot at us right off the bat with this line: 
"I really hate to do this two days before the end of the month, what with trying to wrap up another trouncing of Glauber in the monthly page views race and all of the developments going on in Baseball City."
Wow.
And not even a link to our blog, which is a sure sign that Best is starting to get insecure now that he's on the top of the blogging world. It's almost as if he's pouring it on when he's ahead 45-0 in the fourth quarter.
Not that we're really that far behind Best's page views; in fact, we should be setting a new personal high this month. Then again, we don't get to comment on baseball, football, basketball, hockey, AND Imus and Suzyn Waldman, so we don't have the world at our computer like Best.
But we're fine with Best puffing his chest on this one. Go right ahead. After all, he spent the weekend blogging in the basement in his jammies. We spent it in London.
(UPDATE: Best appears to be on one of his blog binges today, and will probably finish up with 20 posts or so. I do worry about this man listening to talk radio so much of the time. He has turned into one of those "house-bound agorophobes" that Imus used to refer to.)

Chad Pennington is a victim of the media.
All that "Mangenious" hype last year. Ugh. To compare a 1st year head coach to Bill Belichick after a 3 point win is absolutely absurd.
Considering he used to work for the Patriots, do ya think he might have had something up his sleeve?
Now, to consider he can beat Bill Belichick and the Patriots would be a far fetched fantasy.
The Jets played one of the easiest schedules last year and 10-6 and a quick ouster in the playoffs is way short of being cosidered a football genius.
So now this guy is showing his true colors (an unproven head coach) and all of a sudden it's Pennington's fault?
It's the media's fault, if anyone.
Do you think you might have given this guy an ego?
Appearances on The Soprano's and Sesame Street? Do ya think you'll ever see Belichick on Boston Legal or the Teletubbies?
I've often read that a good head coach is almost a 18 hour a day job.
Do you think these ego driven appearances helped the Jets somehow? Do you think they might have taken away from football priorities?
Now Chad has to take the fall for it. It's pretty sad.

Andy:
It's all well and good to say the media pumped up expectations for Pennington and Mangini off last season. But it's a bit naive to think that the media was at fault for Pennington's interceptions and Mangini's questionable in-game moves. C'mon now.
But I like your passionate defense of the fellas. Keep up the comments.
